WINDOW.

Patented May 12, 1914. Divided and this application filed August 8,

1910. Serial No. 576,185.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALFRED H. NEWPHER, a citizen of the United States,and resident of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in "Windows, of which thefollowing is a specification, and which are illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, forming a part thereof.

The invention relates to improvements in windows, and more particularlyto windows having metal frames, its object being to provide improvedmeans for guiding the sash in vertical ways in the frame stiles.

This specification is a division of the specification of my pendingapplication, filed March 12, 1910, Serial No. 548,895.

The invention consists in a structure such as is hereinafter describedand as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which" Figure 1 is adetail perspective of a lower corner of the window frame; Fig. 2 is adetail plan section through the frame stile and the sash; and Fig. 3 isa similar figure showing a slight modification.

The sill of a window frame is shown at 10 and its stiles at 11, 12.

The invention is represented as applied to railway cars having sheetmetal bodies, a part of the outer wall of the car being shown at 13.

At 14 is shown an outer, and at 15 an inner, guide stop for the sash,the drawings showing the window as being provided with two sash 16, 17.

At 18 there is shown a vertical bar attached to the frame stile, andupon this bar is mounted a sheet metal plate 19, which is held in placeby means of screws, as 20, these screws serving also in the presentinstance as securing means for the bar 18.

The marginal portions 21, 22 of the plate 19 are foldedoutwardlysubstantially perpendicular to the body portion of the plate,and are then folded backwardly to the surface of the stile plate 12.These folded portions 21, 22 form yielding stops cooperating with thestops 14, 15 to provide run-ways for the sash 16, 17, and theintermediate portions of the plate afford a guide-way for a dust screen,(not shown).

In the modification shown in Fig. 3 in lieu of the single plate 19 thereis shown a pair of plates 23, 24 each having a body portion of the widthof the bar 18, one of these plates lying directly upon the outer face ofthe bar and the other being applied to the outer face of the formerplate, both being secured by the screws 20. Each plate is foldedoutwardly as shown, as at 25, 26, and then backwardly to the face of thestile plate 12, thus providing the same form of spring guides as arepresent in the construction illustrated in Fig. 2, and differing onlyin, that the pair of steps is composed of two over-1apping platesinstead of a single plate. It is obvious that in the construction shownin Fig. 3 but a single one of these spring stops may be employed shouldthe window be provided with but one instead of a pair of sash.

The sash 16 and 17 may be of any desired construction but are here shownas of metal and as taking the form illustrated in the application ofwhich this is a division. It is also obvious that the bar 18 may bedispensed with, the body portion of the plate 19, or of the plates 23,24, being secured directly to the stile plate 12.

I claim as my invention:

1. In a window frame, in combination, a stile plate, fixed stops forengaging the remoter faces of a pair of sash, a double stop for engagingthe adjacent faces of the sash and having yielding outwardly bowed andrecurved margins forming a guide groove for a screen and yielding leavesfor engaging the sash.

2. In a window frame, in combination, a a

frame stile, a pair of sash guides fixed to the stile, one thereof beinga spring metal plate and being turned outwardly from its line ofattachment to the stile, its margin being margins of its side membersbeing folded bowed inwardly toward the stile and formback to form leavesfor engaging by their 1:.

ing a yielding bearing for the sash. flat faces the adjacent faces ofthe two sash.

3. In a Window frame in combination a 5 stile plate, a pair of stops forengagement ALFRED NEW'PHER' by the remoter faces of a pair of sash andWitnesses: a central stop comprising a U-shaped sheet LoUIs K. GILLSON,metal plate secured to the stile, the outer 1 E. M. KLATOHER.
